Note 170 — SIMPLE JOHN AND HIS TWELVE MISFORTUNES.

The text up till this point has been published separately under the title of ‘The Miseries of Poor Simple Innocent Silly Tam.’ The ‘Misfortunes’ are not given in that chap-book. In all the other editions of Simple John which have come under the notice of the editor, each of the ‘misfortunes’ is given a separate numerical title, as ‘Misfortune I.,’ etc.
